YouTube's New Approach to Gaming

Called YouTube Gaming, the hub will have separate channels for more than 25,000 games, each with videos and live streams. It's coming this summer.

The full list of supported games hasn't been released, but provided art confirms some of the more obvious candidates: Minecraft, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, League of Legends, Grand Theft Auto 5, The Sims 4, and Destiny.

Some game publishers and YouTube creators will have dedicated channels as well.

"Live streams bring the gaming community closer together, so we’ve put them front-and-center on the YouTube Gaming homepage," said YouTube Product Manager Alan Joyce. "On top of existing features like high frame rate streaming at 60fps, DVR, and automatically converting your stream into a YouTube video, we’re redesigning our system so that you no longer need to schedule a live event ahead of time."

YouTube Gaming is coming first to the U.S. and U.K.
